Re: Jeep or Truck
..all my cohorts have jeeps. the wranglers are nice, if your hopping around or hanging out with chums, but not a good family veh at all. i would look into getting a newer cherokee sport. i know its not on your list, but its sort of the best of both worlds. a little more plush, and will still get you where you need to go off the road. ..espescially if outfitted right. they are pretty much as capeble as a wrangler. they look nice- have lots of room for gear. ive had an offroad isuzu trooper, and an offroad mazda b2600 shortbed (it looked kinda like biff's truck in back to the future) and had my friends 84' bronco with 40" tires on it (thing was a monster) for a while and his cherokee, and have done plenty of real off roading with water over the hood coming in the windows, and mud half way up the doors, and driving through ponds and streams and over other cars and down and up cliffs and through woods and sand and sleet and snow and stuff. we never got real extreme and did rock climbing or anything, but coutless times weve had to pull out a Fire engine winch to pull us out of some sort of hopeless looking situation. but at leaast they wereent normally our only veh so we could afford to have them be a little out of commision from time to time. last time i went out i bottomed out my trooper with the chassis sitting on an ice layer when all 4 wheels broke through the ice to the some odd 3+ feet of snow beneath. needless to say it was stuck .. bad. i could barley get through the ice to try and dig it out it was so thick. and now i drive a car that couldnt go over a curb without breaking somthing or falling apart..its a real .. um.. well lets just say that like you my wife drives the nice family veh, and i drive the "other car". ... anyway if not a cherokee, id personally go for the wrangler.
